If and when that happens, it's gonna be a tear-jerker.
It probably won't happen.

Moffat wrote that and never stopped and said "BETTER GIVE A GOODBYE TO BRIAN TOO".
It became just very up his own arse with the sort of emphasis on Amy. Even Rory got shafted.
[QUOTE=cdlink14;37920566]Nearly filled my walls with dr.who posters.
Kinda crappy panoramic, I filled out the missing parts with solid colors. Also forgive the unrelated poster in the bottom right, that was a print test I did with my new printer earlier in the year and the colors look so pretty I hang it up.

My destructive brother only recently moved out of my room and I have plans to redecorate it in January. Currently unemployed so saving up is kinda hard.
Also on the note of the upper left image: Why can't we have an episode of Dr.Who where he visits the Northern Lights? Or even sees them from outerspace![/QUOTE]
needs more frames
I do love Karen Gillan and I love Amy but from what I've seen Jenna is a much more capable actress with some hard emotion in her acting.
I hate the post-actor-leaving-hate that always happens where people try to justify liking the new person so slate the previous person but I genuinely look forward to Oswin as I think Jenna is a more engaging actress.
Tomorrow's gonna feel odd without doctor who, but at least I can do shit without worrying about streaming it for you lot <3
Atleast at 7:35 I can do a shit

stream every single episode again, but backwards, slowly regressing back to the first doctor

Bond isn't the only thing celebrating 50 today. The Beatles celebrate 50 years since they first emerged on the music scene with their debut single. So I'm posting this mysterious picture of The Doctor hanging out with the band.
Bond, Beatles and Doctor Who. Three of the best British things all came about very close together.

Also while we're finding real life proof of The Doctor. Here he is with Tom Jones.
If multiple universes exist it is always possible The Doctor could come through into ours.
Imagine if there were an episode that combined all three of those with good writing. A trippy spy adventure with musical bits a'la Yellow Submarine, coupled with time travel and the Doctor brandishing a holographic rapier at Zygons and Ice Warriors.
And also make it a 2-parter, so the Moff doesn't go loopy and wrap it up too quickly/conveniently.
Fuck it. Don't let him write it. I'll do it for nothing.
[editline]5th October 2012[/editline]
Let's get this straight. I like Moffat as a writer. Just not a showrunner.
[editline]5th October 2012[/editline]
And I don't trust him with things people get excited for. Like The Doctor finally meeting The Beatles- which they've been trying for years.
Hmmm, sounds legit. Whilst it's important to not be overly-restricted, one often needs constraint in order to not go overboard, since with too much freedom things can get a little crazy. Gotta maintain that all-important balance in life, not too "chaotic" yet not overly oppressed, since you can hardly drink ice or steam; well you could try but they're harder to drink than normal water.
Probably best to have him be the one to make a few of the episodes, rather than have him make a lot of them. Besides, too much of the same isn't as good as a well-rounded variety of stories with different writing styles.
Speaking of which, are there many episodes in Doctor Who that could be described as "survival horror"? As in the Doctor is in a situation where the things he's up against can't be reasoned with, and there's this crushing atmosphere of dread and loneliness, kind of like Silent Hill 2 or Amnesia. Ok, so those're video-games, and aren't the best examples of what i'm trying to suggest, but you can kind of guess what i'm saying, right? I'm talking about things where the Doctor genuinely has to survive and escape from unreasoning horrors in an environment of extreme pessimism and soul-crushing loneliness. It's not a formula that could be done for any old episode, though; it'd need to be for something special, and not be overdone or written poorly.
Doctors Wife sort of had elements of it with the Ponds in the TARDIS. I started a fan fiction thing where The Doctor is trapped on a supposedly [I]haunted[/I] cruise ship crashed on a very creepy planet. But I had no idea why I was writing it as it would amount to nothing. Might try again tomorrow or something, it was fun. Had a twist planned and everything.
Survival horror is the way horror is moving these days. Would like to see it come to Who.
Survival horror is way better than action horror, in my opinion. With survival horror, there's more opportunity for different kinds of terror, depression, unease and anxiety, rather than stuff like [B]OH FUCK THEY'RE COMING OUT OF THE GODDAMN WALLS![/B] or [B]WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT WHY DOES IT HAVE NO FACE SHOOT IT SHOOT IT SHOOT IT![/B]
Surprise can work well if not overdone or misused in other way, since if there's too much surprise involved it just becomes like "oh great another skinless ghoul from the Stygian Abyss just jumped out of the locker room", and that isn't really scary, it's more like startling.
Rant on action horror aside, Doctor Who could well do with the occasional survival horror episode, like if the Doctor crept around an old abandoned moonbase, searching for clues as to what happened to the staff, and has to genuinely run and hide when the stationhands come back so terribly wrong that any attempt to reason with them would result in his face being repurposed as a tea-cozy, before Jenna's character could say "Cthulhu fhtagn" and sprout tentacles from her eyes due to looking at the Forbidden Thing.
A horror episode on a moonbase, or in a starship that's sunk to the bottom of the ocean or something could be kinda cool. Kinda like the Impossible Planet, that kind of Alien-esque atmosphere where the characters are trapped in a metal box with whatever it is that's hunting them. Speaking of which, I only just noticed the Aliens reference in the Impossible Planet two-parter, where they're crawling through the air vents which are pretty much exactly the same size as the ones in Aliens, and then the security guy is left behind, kinda like Vasquez and that other guy, to fend off the xenomorphs.
Wonder what the Doctor would do if he was faced with the xenomorphs. Other than die a horrible death, I mean.

he'd run
He'd need to run alright; run and hide like Daniel running from Mr Flappy Jaw in the prison levels of Brennenburg Castle.
What about Midnight? That was a pretty damn good episode, in my opinion.
Midnight is one of those episodes with a lot of fridge horror.
It scares me to think about what we turn into when we're scared. A bunch of useless fuckers whose onl thoughts are of survival and fuck everyone else who tries to get in your way.
That said, I wanted to slap some sense into those hysterical people.
[sp]What is the song called just when Amy and Rory have jumped off a building and woken up in the Graveyard? Just around here http://www.bbc.co.uk/i/b01n70f3/?t=36m15s Has it been released before or was it new?[/sp]
-snip, didn't read properly-
It sounds new but it also sounds like a remix of some other tracks, most notably Sad Man with a Box.
....
My god.
Murray Gold, you're a fucking genius.
It sounds like a happier version of Sad Man with a Box, which just makes the loss all that more painful.
You fucking genius.

I don't hear the resemblance.
In the graveyard scene, just after JimJam's time, why does River say, "they're going to get terribly bored hanging round here all day"?
[QUOTE=Cabbalistic;37934140]In the graveyard scene, just after JimJam's time, why does River say, "they're going to get terribly bored hanging round here all day"?[/QUOTE]
Because they would get terribly bored hanging around there all day.
[QUOTE=TheCactusman;37934556]Because they would get terribly bored hanging around there all day.[/QUOTE]
But why would they be hanging around there for such a long time? Considering the Doctor and River are with the Tardis, it doesn't seem to make sense to me.
I assumed it was so they didn't collapse the paradox

Was the twist that the ghost was just the Master in a mask scaring people away because he found a gold mine in under the wreckage of the ship?
Yeah and he would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those meddling kids and that stupid Timelord.
